Description:
Hello kiddies .

Da Pickle http://www.macjams.com/artist/dapickle

Sent me a few hot beats the other day and I had to wright to this one . It was one where the words just flowed from my pencil to pad . This is an amazing beat and am thankful for the opportunity to lay some vocals on it !

Sublime Indeed! &mdash 04/10/08 - 09:34:18 AM
Smooth and silky with the tastiest wash of instrumental mixes I've heard in a long time. Your producer's ear is one of the sharpest on MacJams, Benny - you just keep getting better.

I could just feel the summer heat rippling off the highway, counterpointing the cool rhythm pulsing along behind your raps. Those horns are absolutely perfect!

I'll be playing this in my own 18-wheeler cab tomorrow as I trudge thru downtown Hoboken, NJ, enjoying the sun and the crazies, Asian guys and Jersey girls and the guy who dresses up as Batman and rides his bicycle down Washington Street, tooting his little bulb horn as he goes. Sometimes life is just... sublime.

Frickin New Jersey , But I must say I really Loved listening to the CB in New York at rush out , The Jerky Boys there are so entertaining : )

Flows nice. Love the background vox. Man those lyrics are just tight. It has a very smooth vibe going on. The post production sounds pro. Benny, you are by far my favorite rapper here at MJ's.


Great job! Fav and downloaded

Yeah man if you got any hiphop beats kinda on the jazzy or weird side Id like to hear em . Ive got a bunch on my plate at the moment but Id love to colab with ya in da future !

[ Reply to This ]
I'll be up front .. &mdash 04/10/08 - 06:33:54 PM
.. hip hop is not my favourite genre :) However, of all the hip hop I've heard, this is definitely up there with the best (and I'm not just talking MJ!). The backing track is very cool and restrained - a lovely groove. Lyrics are intelligent and really well delivered. Production is great.

Maybe I could get to like hip hop after all ;)

Music is music you know what you like and you know what you dont . Its the song not the Genre . Hip hop can be as expressive an artform as any . So glad I could be your Bridge man : )

you and Da Pickle have put together the sweetest sound I've heard in a long time. I really like the deep doubled vocal and the chorus is real nice - is thatDa Pickle or a loopy thang? Shout out to Sweet Pea the wiener dog.

Hey thanx . I just learned about CBGB's last month what a cool place that would have been to go to in the 70's . Im honored by your wonderful comment and I think that the Hey hey hey part is a loopy thang . The other is me . Sweet Pea is the beat dog ever : )

The music is brilliant (well done Dapickle), and you have done a really good job of fitting the lyrics around the track. The lyrics are also really good, and I well enjoyed listening to this track. Well done, its a brilliant collab.

Fresh &mdash 04/21/08 - 07:03:01 PM
The intro to the track made me laugh my a** off, cuz when I first started molding my genre into hip-hop, I used sublime as a crutch word and was called out on it numerous times. But eh, we all make our own way to learning that flowing words isn't as easy as it seams and can't be as consistent as people think. There in lies the art of freestyle.

Nice track Frenchy, was diggin the vibe of the beat and the integration of your lyrics. Consistent flow and a good, catchy hook. I think I read in here about someone commenting that your producer has a good ear and I can tell cuz I'm bobbin my head to this joint on my P.O.S. broken jensen digital audio computer headphones. Keep doin what your doin man, mad diggin it! *D

Mad Props &mdash 04/21/08 - 08:03:24 PM
Hey Rhymer . Thanx for makin my day dude . Your dead on its not in the slightest easy to rap and or make beats hip hop is an art like any other music . People tend to glass over it like its trash and has no musical attributes at all ...I learned this the hard way when I produced my first group The Bassment Boyz . I thought oh yeah toss a few beats together record some hot lyrics whats there ro it . Wrong ! Its hard and tetious and takes mad skill . Da Pickle Did this beat for me but I usually produce all my own stuff in fact thats what I do for real is produce but love to rap so much I made it a hobby .....Thanx for the ups big bro ..always keep it real man !

Hey Deeger &mdash 04/26/08 - 10:53:51 PM
Man you got some skills grooooving on this thang.
Lyrics are fine. So sublime. Its usually the best stuff when it just rolls off the pencil to to the paper...
The message to hold your head high but dont stand to tall
how profound...

["the harder they come"... the harder they fall....
Jimmi Cliff]

peace man
way cool
going for another listen.
I really dig the sound of the bending synth in the chorus.
It gives the listener a musical riff to hold on to.
The melody on the chorus hummms along like a pop song disguised as a very hip rap tune.
The pop song wants to ooozzz out.
Like I could hear Michael McDonald doing a R&B version.
Great collab just great.
